A Turbulent Century of History
About This Novel
With short and concise writing style, this book profoundly records the ups and downs that Japan experienced in the 100 years from the Meiji Restoration in the 1860s to the 1960s from a majestic and sweeping historical perspective. From the perspective of a political leader, the author Yoshida Shigeru explains Japan's history over the past century, from the rise of the Meiji Restoration to the trough after the defeat, and then to the history of getting back on its feet with the help of good post-war development opportunities. This book also includes Japan through the eyes of foreigners over the past century, as well as the author's economic papers and current affairs comments published in Japanese postwar newspapers and magazines. Generally speaking, what is revealed between the lines is not literary interest, but the rationality, perseverance, hard work and courage unique to politicians.
